Psalm 112. Beatus vir.

1. BLESSED is the man that feareth the Lord; *
   he hath great delight in his commandments.
2. His seed shall be mighty upon earth; *
   the generation of the faithful shall be blessed.
3. Riches and plenteousness shall be in his house; *
   and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4. Unto the godly there ariseth up light in the darkness; *
   he is merciful, loving, and righteous.
5. A good man is merciful, and lendeth; *
   and will guide his words with discretion.
6. For he shall never be moved: *
   and the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.
7. He will not be afraid of any evil tidings; *
   for his heart standeth fast, and believeth in the Lord.
8. His heart is stablished, and will not shrink, *
   until he see his desire upon his enemies.
9. He hath dispersed abroad, and given to the poor. *
   and his righteousness remaineth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10. The ungodly shall see it, and it shall grieve him; *
    he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away; the desire of the ungodly shall perish.
